01/02/1985

Student Work, M.Arch Thesis

7-page paper submitted to the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Architecture. In this thesis an examination of the overall structure of the campus is attempted, trying to identify what is needed for a more complex and better campus environment. The process of diagnosing and then forming a pattern language for possible projects leading to future development was based on the books of the “Oregon Experiment” and the “Pattern Language”.
